A savage March wind sweeps a Swiss valley and leaves a grieving household behind it. Nine years later Veronica has grown up under its shadow, and the village around her, with its scheming neighbours, its plans for her marriage to Dietrich and the wise counsel of lame Sabina, tests how each person will follow their own kind.
A quieter moral tale from the author of Heidi, translated by Louise Brooks, rich in Alpine village life. Download the free EPUB.
